I have never changed a rear main seal and am pretty sure that it is the problem (will changed VC gasket first to make sure) couple of quistions,
I have an 88 with 6" rustys long arm w/ rustys tranny mount and cross member, 231 tcase/SYE, a few other things that shouldn't matter.
?1. Where is the rear main seal located exactly (have a general idea but need specifics)?
?2. What do I have to take off to get to it?
?3. Is a brass punch all that is needed to remove it?
?4. about how long will this take ie... an afternoon or like 1-2 days.
?5. would the massive amount of blowby caused this seal to leak?
I have read all the threads on rear main's and on blowby, Have a good place to start on the blowby but at a loss with the seal. I am fairly mechanical but have not been inside and engine before.
Answer 1 or all any help would be great.
